THREAD-CUTTING TEMlPLE FOR L-OOM'S.

Application filed August 13,1907. seriaLNo. $811,318. 'a y -'.Massachusetts, have invented 'an Improvement in Thread-Cutting Temples for Looms, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanyin Adrawing, is5aspecification, likeletters on t e drawing representing like parts.

This invention relates to that type of loomtemple provided with means to cut the iilling end extendin t0. the replenlshing mechanism in an automtic'filhng-replenishing loom, such a tem. 16 forming the subject-matter of Unitedv tatesfPatentNo. 585465 granted JuneQQ. 1897 to me and another. Insaid temple-head is provided with a 1 Xed blade at onev end of the temle-roll,.and a coperating blade is arrange to have arocking and' elidin movement, toerig e' the -filling'end `and t en t'o part the'sa'mev etween the cuttinge es of theblades. The adjacent bearwhich the movable blade is mounted, vsaid carrier having a bearing on which vit slides,

l, .located below the journal inside the templehead.

o, Owing to Wear or looseness of the parts certainty of o the movement'of the vblade-carrierA at times engages 'and'damages the roll bearing, at the s'ame time interfe'rlng'with the proper opera- `vwhole being 'rsu stantially increased.

vThe various novel features om'y invention will be fully described inthe subjoinedf s ecication and particularly pointed out in lthe following claims. Figure 1 is an end ple embodyinlg one form of my yention, the s resent' infli gt. 3 is a'front elevation thereof; Fig. 4 1s a orgrtical'section on the line 4 4, Fig. 3, look- :toward the ri ht. f'

eferring 'to t e drawings; the templehead comprising the pod P and cap C, the 'l from the selvage f the clothl ing of t e rollexdtends beneath, the carrier on ration of the temple' as a I have also so' constructed and arranged certain ortions of thegdevice that wear is dimnis edu elevation of a loom 'temde-bar or shank being broken mi; Fig. 2 is a top plan v ieW-of the temple;

At -one endthe od is s'lottedat p, Fig. 3, toreceive a fixed stee blade 1 having an {uprightcut- 1 ting edge 2, the blade being located in the The shank Bv has a slot center of the Slot. b, Fig. 4, op o site the slot p; and the lower part -o-f the s ankbelow thelslot has an eX- ternal bearing b', and in the slot b is loosely in rted the base 3 of 'a movable blade-carri r, upturned and ex'tendeflftowardfthe front vof ,the temple-head, at `4. y

As best Shown in Fig. 4 the blade-carrier overhangs the adjacent droll-journal 'r and it I will be Seen that it extends across the top of the cap, which is flattened at cx to form a long-bearing 'upon whichV the under edge 'of slide. The movable blade free end of the part 4, and preferably is made duplex, the two members 5 of said blade being rigidly Secured ,to the blade-carrier one at each side of the iixed blade l, See Fig. 3.. .As shown in Fi s. 1 and 4 the cutting edge lade .5 is diagonal, crossing the edge 2 ofthe -fixed blade, the extremity of the 'blade`5 normally projecting beyond Lugs 7 -exblade-carrier, to abut a ain'st the shank B at opposite sides 4of the s et?) to" limit movement of the Carrier to the riglht, Figs. 1 Vand 4. Sueh movement is effected by a, spring s,

coiled 'about a stud-bx on the shank and vv having its free end` s connected .With a lug A 8.011 a heel9` depending from and formin a rigid continuation of the base 3 of the bla elateral ears. 10
